    Same here. My pain has been increasing instead of decreeasing. It has spread to my upper back and sides and sides. My right arm aches.  I see my Gastrointernalogist. My Primary said I had Teitze, without any reason except that my heart was ok and I hurt under my breasts.  I am very short of breathe and get breatheless doing anything as all.

    Hi Anita

    yes, the pain varies from person to person.  My pain was left sided radiating down my left my left arm, radiating to the tip of my left shoulder and ended up following the line of my trigeminal facial nerve.  I was on the verge with oit cos I couldn't sleep and it was constant.  Once a bright Doc diagnosed me (after 4 years of spreading pain) she commenced me on Nortryptline and within 48 hrs the pain had gone from a 9 to a 3 & eventually to zero provided I don't overdo it.

    I get pain in my breast, down my sides, in middle of back and underneath breast along the breast bone. It floats all over. I also have cervical stenosis, slight curvature of spine(scolosis) and beginning degenerative disk problems. This all complicates the Cochrondritis, Tietze is just on one side whereas Cond is both sides.

    hi Aniita,

    I have those symptoms as well. I was diagnosed last December. Soft ice packs or warm heating pads help alot or a medicine called neurontin helps pain too. Good luck! Youir not in this alone.
